陶瓷实验考古研究概述

Research on Experimental Ceramic Archaeology

随着实验考古学的兴起,古陶瓷研究人员通过模拟实验研究古代陶瓷生产及其所反映的社会文化和生活等方面信息的兴趣不断增强,主要包括原料的选取、加工,泥料的配置,陶瓷的成型、装饰和烧成工艺,制作陶瓷的生产组织和管理,成品的流通、使用和废弃等。本文通过梳理国内外陶瓷实验考古的研究现状方面的研究,总结研究所取得的学术成果,简要分析存在的相关问题,为系统开展陶瓷实验考古工作提出自己的认识,以便引起古陶瓷研究人员的广泛关注。

Since the rise of experimental archaeology, researchers of ancient ceramics become increasingly interested in simulating ancient ceramic production technology, including raw materials processing, configurating clays, molding greenware, decorating the surface and firing the ceramic. During this process, they strive to extract information about the organziation of production, using and circulation of products, and discard and deterioration of ceramic materials. All these efforts will contribute to the reconstruction of ancient ceramic culture and everyday life. This article intends to review the history of ceramic archaeology, pinpoint the questions in the current research and discuss the direction of future research from a personal viewpoint. It is expected that this work can help readers achieve a better understanding on the mission and vision of experimental ceramic archaeology.
